[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 373521, member: 7999"] Right on! They got rid of them for a reason the first time. It's a monumental mistake to artificially bring them back. I think this will turn out like when the F&G decided to introduce a new salmon species into Flathead lake. Long story short, they destroyed the largest kokanee salmon fishery in the world. There is no longer any, I mean zero, kokanee left in Flathead lake. And the salmon species that they tried to introduce did not make it either. This time the experiment is on wildlife and covers the Western United States. This will not only affect the wildlife, but also our food supply. By predation and disease. Not to mention the occasional, unlucky, human victim. How much collateral damage is acceptable? Some body needs to explain to me how we as people are better off with wolves. To say that we now have a new hunting opportunity does not cut it. Loosing the ungulate populations and adding a wolf hunt does not sound like an added hunting opportunity to me. For those of you who do not understand, we have seen our game populations plummet in the last 2 years. I am not using the word plummet lightly. I mean game is scarce. The wolf does not stop killing when the population of prey gets down to "acceptable levels". For that matter they don't stop killing when they are not hungry. Why do you think the typical wolf kill has the prime pieces eaten and the rest of the animal left behind? They only eat the whole animal if they are having trouble finding something to eat. I should stay out of these wolf discussions. We are stuck with it now and it is too late. Steve [/QUOTE]
